To me, it's a common thing to go somewhere and box there.
England is a lucky country for me, and fortune comes only with hard work.
I want to become a star in the United States because I want to show everyone quality boxing.
A lot of people don't believe in me. They think I'm too small for heavyweight. Just like a lot of people told me long ago that I shouldn't box. That I wasn't going to make it. I just knock my head and say I'm capable. I can do it.
I may sound a bit crazy, but I get really excited with all the enormous hard work that I put myself through every day.
I don't want to work with a person just to have someone there.
The most that hurts is I couldn't see my kids growing up. They grow and go. Most of the time, I'm in training camps. I couldn't see that happening. This hurts me.
I became the European amateur champion in Liverpool back in 2008. I visited the Beatles museum, and after the final, I went to a drum and bass disco.
I'm not exactly a huge Beatles fan, but when I have a chance to visit a legendary place like the Beatles museum, I definitely use it. It's historic.
The Olympics is still my greatest achievement... I have many belts, but there is only one Olympic gold.
I am Ukrainian and fighting like a Ukrainian.
I had a goal to become the undisputed champion in cruiserweight, and I achieved this goal.
I am interested in the heavyweight division, and I'll tell you why: Many experts say that I shouldn't go up in weight, that I'm too small for it. My size does not allow me to be victorious in this division.
I actually don't like boxers who talk too much.
If you want to be great in what you're doing, you really need to limit yourself, so I consider my life as the life of a monk.
Boxing, for me, is all about drama and victory, and there is plenty more to come.
Fans can look forward to watching me take on the biggest and best names in the sport.
I miss the ring and look forward to hearing the opening bell ring again.
I will box with passion and devotion.
I'm getting better with each bout and looking to close out 2014 in style.
